Default Official Slogan for the GS Adverts.

The simple promotional statement is ..... "Brace Yourself"
They probably will not produce a lot of Matador Red anyway yet it is eye catching which is the point.

Speaking of Matador Red, I saw a pre-production 2006 on the freeway yesterday on my way to work into Orange County. It was obviously a Lexus corporate car with the CA MFG plates for Lexus with the "Lexus, The Passionate Pursuit of Perfection" frames. Looks like it was on it's way to the local dealerships in Riverside and Palm Springs.

Oh man, that photo of the GS is not a good one. It looks like a an overblown Toyota Camry Solara. I have seen better GS photos, but that one is definitely not a good one.

I hope to see one in person finally so I can make my final comments.

Is it just me or does that gs need about 1.5" drop. Wheel gap looks the same as stock 2nd gen gs.

Nice, but I dont think they can ever top, "Something Wicked This Way Comes" Those adds and commercials with that sinister voice were quite incredible.

Write a letter to Team One (subsidiary of Saatchi & Saatchi - Toyota's advertising company) about the slogans.

Is that really Matador Red? It looks too burgundy-ish. I thought the matador red was going to be a new color, much more crimson instead of burgundy. If not, I gotta change my wait list preference!!!

It is an orange metallic type of red. Not really burgundy. It's more orange biased like the old Cinnabar Red Pearl on the Gen2. It's almost similar to the Camry's Salsa Red Pearl. Those pictures don't do a damn because the color balance is off.

Thinks it's because of those ugly rims - prefer the 1998 16 alloy rims to those
Should have gone with the spyder rims gs430 maybe- the best model featured for promotion like this?

You guys already in the minds of "how can this car be better" (lowered)
(not good angle)
(the color - is that really red)
.....etc
lol
